We have gone through two more chapters ending at John 5 today. We had an unexpected visitor. She didn't stay for long, but she hung around long enough to be loved. I brought some donuts, and they served some coffee and muffins. We sang Amazing Grace which they really loved.
Reading through today, we really talked about the rich official and his faith in asking Jesus to heal his son. Chong emphatically and emotionally said we still need modern day medicine to save those who are sick. Fortunately, I'm not in the anti-hospital/doctor/medicine camp. Although the situation does show that the royal official, having access to his day and age medicine, still could not heal his son. He went to Jesus. We went over the power of His word. Jesus spoke, not even being in the presence of the official's son, He would heal him. There's much power in His words.
In the end, we continued talking about their lives and how many of them deal with living there 24/7, with no outdoor activity since they are mandated by law to spend rehab there. It's a difficult life. More reason for them to hear the gospel from us.
